Foley Legacy Fund gift

This fund continues to financially support ministries that provide direct service to the economically poor and underserved. Funds may be used to provide financial support for personnel, programs, buildings and grounds needed by the ministry.

Naming the legacy fund in honor of Mother Mary Cleophas Foley who led the Sisters of Providence during a time of great growth was no coincidence. She was superior general for 36 years (1890-1926). Nearly every major building on campus can be traced to her leadership: the Church of the Immaculate Conception; the façade and fourth floor added to the Academy (later Foley Hall); the present O’Shaughnessy Dining Hall; Providence Convent and the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, to name a few. She also initiated a strong program for educating the sisters, sent the first group of our sisters to establish a mission in China and initiated the Cause of Canonization for Mother Theodore. And why was she able to do all this? Because of the support of generous and faithful benefactors!

• Gifts to the Sisters of Providence are tax exempt.
• The Sisters of Providence are NOT considered an educational institution.
• If the company’s guidelines indicate they do not match gifts to religious organizations, the Sisters of Providence probably do not qualify for a matching gift from this company.
